Currently, there are no treatments available to either slow down the progression of GA or help patients recover from this condition. Though clinical trials are underway, doctors still can’t treat patients with GA. Vitamins are recommended by doctors to patients who are in early or mid stages of dry AMD to prevent them from reaching the advanced stage.

So, does this mean that there is no hope for GA patients? Well, absolutely not! Apellis Pharmaceuticals has finally come to the rescue of patients with Geographic Atrophy. The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company gives patients with GA the hope that they always needed. APL-2 has proven to not only slow down the progression of this visionary disease but also, assist in vision maintenance. That’s a note-worthy achievement and a breakthrough in this field.

To determine the authenticity of any treatment, therapy or procedure, people refer to clinical trials. Study findings enable us to identify the success rate and evaluate its legitimacy. But are all clinical trials truly legitimate? It’s unfortunate but true that only a few are authentic while others are questionable.

One of the most challenging aspects of having low vision is traveling safely. This past summer, I took my independence to a new level when I had the opportunity to visit friends and family and attend a convention in Alberta Canada. Of course, I had traveled before and this wasn’t even my first time taking a plane out of the country. It was however, my first experience flying without the safety net of my parents, as well as the first air plane trip Cindi - my guide dog - and I had ever taken together. We definitely had some adventures, and it wasn’t always easy, but it was an absolutely wonderful vacation and we learned a lot along the way.
